DSM Forums - View Profile: PRESSURIZEDHe hasn't been on in awhile so I was hoping someone might be able to give me a good email or something.

I'm trying to get ahold of a dsm member that use to be on here, PRESSURIZED if anyone has any way I can contact him and is willing to share that'd be great. Thanks!

just wondering why you want to run e-85?

Hey guys, Looking for someone thats a good powder coater for a reasonable price. I got 4 rims I want done. I live in west mifflin. If you know anyone or want to refer me to anyone that would rock, thanks guys.

Is anyone using the Prosport boost gauge with higher boost? Is it still accurate?

if anything it would cause your numbers to be low since your car didn't the air for the compression in the cylinders.

My best luck was to turn it over by hand till both dowel pins ( right above the bolt ) where facing up then get something small enough to stick into the timing slots and if they line up right then what ever you have that fits into the timing marks will fit good, if not it'll be rough to get it...

Does your car overheat at all or run any hotter?

When was the head done? Maybe the head gaskets bad or timing is off. You don't necessarily need a new motor. Just some head work at most. few hundred bucks and you could be running like new. Whats it done when you try to start it anyway? Just crank, do you smell any fuel. You check for spark and...

Bring it back from the dead, What size are those bolts. M12x1.25? How long are they?

Looked at it today. It was the Driver side half shaft. Theres a bracket that holds up the the half shaft that has 2 bolts in it. Well mine has one broken off one in there and the half shaft came out. Diff fluid leaked out also. I called buschur since they where the last ones to touch it and he...

I have ideas of what it could be. Lost of expensive things ;-) just if anyone has ever seen this before what to look for right away. I'm gonna look for the obvious tomorrow. Broken, leaking, missing parts. but anything that someone might have some input I could miss that they had experience...

I was driving home tonight and I noticed when I turned right I think it was that I felt something like I can't even explain it. Almost like the something is slipping off the road. I noticed when I was giving it gas that the rpms and speedo would go up pretty fast but I wouldn't be moving much...

Theres a place my friend took my head to, 125 bucks to rebuild it, pressure check it, clean it, and deck it. good deal. took a couple weeks but super cheap.

Hey guys, I had some issues with paying garages to do my timing in the past. Cost me a top end rebuild which I'm finishing up now. I'm looking for some help to do the not the timing so much but really the tensioning of the belt. If anyone feels like they can help me out I'll hook ya up. Thanks

I was trying that and I didn't get any results..... How long should I be pumping them for? I was pumping for about a minute on a bunch of random ones and none ever stiffened back up. I was just thinking... I guess I should have been pumping it with the paper clip and not by hand. I'll give that...

I'm in the middle of reinstalling my head and noticed that some lifters are able to be pushed in and some are solid. So I thought that I had collapsed lifters. After reading alot of the threads on here I understand that the ones that are near solid are just filled with oil and the others...

Looking for a good recommendation for a Pittsburgh Area machine shop for a head. Thanks, let me know.

That things sweet haha

Theres a guy on the forums that cut the horn off and recirculated the RFL. I have the RFL and it doesn't give me any problems. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182340&highlight=RFL+recirculateBTW: thats not the guy that cut the horn off.

Thats pretty sweet, is it just going to be the stock motor or you plan on modifying it once its in?

http://www.boomslang.us/safc2.htmThere is it!

You know what, there is someone that does sell them. I've came accross it before and I wished I had it! Someone does make them, I'll look and see if I can find who did sell em. But they are out there!

So taking a better look at it today in the day time I notice that your right. The rocker arm was what was moving(along with the pulley since there attached ). I see how the auto tensioner will push up on that and then it'll just spin. Thanks guys. Got the auto tensioner in today, not sure if...

I haven't gotten that far. I'm waiting for the the auto tensioner to come in. When i was taking it out I noticed that the when trying to loosen the nut on the pulley that it was moving up and down. I haven't seen that before.

The pulley itself... Should it be just able to spin or is it able to move... Mine is somehow capable of moving up and down. I'm curious how this is possible? Makes no sense me honestly.

You never said if it shifted with the car off or not. My car did the same thing and it was a spring in the clutch disc causing the problem.

I did wind up getting one for some parts actually. I got an American Express Select Blue. It seems pretty nice. I'm waiting for it in the mail now. 15month 0% interest and builds points towards rewards. No annual Fee. Not sure what the APR is after 15 months, but got 15months to see if I want to...

Well I plan on heading to the dyno haha. Is it alright to block this off for now?

Thanks for all the advice man! I got another question that came to me when I was taking out my VPC. The VPC took over my MAP sensor. Is this a must when running link, what should I do? Thanks.

Oh I plan on using the laptop for everything. Just the palm to save the configurations. I don't even like using palms that much personally! Thanks for all the info guys and someone PM'd me this which was awesome.

Awesome! Now I plan on getting a Palm to put in the car after it tuned. I was assuming that the palm can restore the maps if I ever disconnected the battery or anything as long as I saved the map on the palm. Is that right?

So im getting ready to purchase dsmlink for a 2nd time after getting ripped off. Right now im running a VPC and SAFC combo on my car. I'd post this on the dsmlink forums, how ever I don't own the dsmlink yet. Just getting ready to. I'm not much of a tuner myself. I do the ruff work and when it...

Check -Timing -Boost Leaks -IAC Sensor -TPS Sensor -Make sure the MAF is plugged in.I've had alots and lots of idle problems. Check the Vfaq for all those and test them. More than likely you'll solve your problem.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows of a credit card good to buy performance parts with. I'm getting some work on the car that I could pay cash with, but I'd rather not...Just cause lol. I have 1 credit card though capital one just because thats all I feel I need to have. But since im gonna...

I had and still have an ACT 2600lb PP and clutch in my car. Turns out I cracked the disc and shot some springs. When I did that I got the tranny rebuilt. SBR said the PP was fine so they put it back in the car with there disc. I've gone maybe 3,000 miles and its going though the same problems...

Yeah tried all that. Really frustrating. I think im down to a couple chocies. New TPS - Bought , going to try when it arrives Timing is off a tooth or something - god, :sosad: Bad ECU - Which I took apart and it all looked fine , then again I dont know what a bad ecu looks like

Ah MAS is what im thinking of. So I do I have to modify the stock mas or anything? Also I been having these idling issues with my car. I replaced the throttle body, blocked off the FIAV,EGR, replaced the IAC, going to replace the TPS. If that doesn't fix it, there any chance dsmlink can help...

Did some more diagnoses today. I unplugged the TPS and made the car idle by pressing down on the gas pedal, when I had it around 1100 steady I would have somoene plug in the TPS and it would instantly stall. Any comments on that?

Hey guys, im getting ready to take my car to the next level and Im looking to swap out my VPC (w/ sensors) and SAFC for dsmlink. I have the eprom ecu just not socketed. What else am I going to need?I know I need an MAF for sure and the socketed ecu, but what else? Thanks

I also blocked off the FIAV and the EGR, still nothing.

So I gave it shot. Unplugged the IAC, took the negative off the battery, went inside and ate. Came out, put the negative on and still just stalls... Im not sure if it'll help but a video maybe if I can take one?

Hey guys im still having issues with this idle. I checked the ECU for a burnt fishy smell to see if it had problems, but all looked good! I tried a couple iacs, nothing. Got another throttle body and put it on, still didn't work(yes I put new gaskets on it). I looked at the egr, both nipples...

omg that makes so much more sense. My buddy pulled it outta his brothers blown gsx and asked me what kind of ecu it was, so baffled. Thanks, didn't even think of that. i feel retarded now, but thanks lol

I pulled this out of a GSX, However it looks nothing what so ever like mine. Is this just a stock ecu? I been searching for pictures of ECU's on dsmtuner and google and I haven't seen one that looks like this. I dont think its eprom or anything. If anyone has any input, thanks.:dsm:.. oh yeah...

Does it always stall? Or just when its cold? Im curious Im having idle issues too.

Replaced ISC, Plug Wires, Spark Plugs, no boost leaks,no water in the intake, and its not the BOV. Still doesn't idle. Sometimes it'll attempt to idle at around 500rpms? Sometimes it'll also idle at like 1600 rpms, only briefly though, then it'll stall. If I start it up from a cold it'll idle...

Lol not insulting at all. Im looking for any possiablities. Its pretty crappy out so Im just in and out of the house tryin to mess with stuff. Im gonna check it out, Good look, thanks.EDIT: Dont wanna bump my thread, but checked it, all good. Um, spark plugs and wires next? I dunno?

We'll I took the ISC off my buddies car(working) and put it on mine still no change. When I adjusted that tps last time, I loosened it up turned it a hair and tightened it back up and thats when it was fine. My afc just said it was at like .545v or something. Anyway, ISC isn't the problem, any...

Not the biss, the tps. You can adjust its voltage, mine was adjusted to like .55 at idle or so my afc said. Im not sure why that fixed it. Ill check the ISC.
